unit 3 Flashcards
What steps can be taken to achieve a healthy start before pregnancy
healthy weight, adequate diet, being active, check-ups, managing chronic illnesses, avoiding harmful substances
what is a critical period of development in pregnancy
intense stage of rapid cell division
What are two spinal tube defects
Spina Bifida, anencephaly
what is spina bifida
the tube is not completely closes
what is anencephaly
the brain isn’t dvlpted
what are some risk factors in neural tube defects
family history, maternal diabetes, folate deficiency, maternal obesity, medicine
what can alter gene expression and lead to chronic diseases in adulthood
fetal programming
fetal and maternal health depends on this
weight gain during pregnancy
weight gain during pregnancy is correlated with what
birth weight and is a predictor of health
weight gain during pregnancy depends on what 2 things
number of fetuses, and pre-pregnancy weight
Normal weight gain is how many lbs
25-35 lbs
is there an increased energy need in the first trimester
There is no increased need but there is a weight gain of 3-5 lbs
increased energy need in the second trimester
340 kcals with a gain of 1lbs a week
increased need in the third trimester
450 kcals and a gain of 1lbs a week
CHO importance in pregnancy
increased need for fetus brain fuel
PRO importance in pregnancy
increased need by 25 g a day
FAT importance in pregnancy
increased need for EFA for brain development
importance of iron in pregnancy
baby is taking moms store of iron so there is
High-risk pregnancy factors
low birth weight, gestational age, maternal concerns, glucose mishandling, hypertensive d/o, preeclampsia, eclampsia
what is considered a low birth rate and what is this related to
5.5 lbs or less and there is a relationship with SES
gestational age risk to pregnancy
baby can be born preterm and if the baby is small they can make up the weight
maternal concerns in risk factors fro pregnancy
malnutrition in early and late pregnancy
effects of malnutrition in early pregnancy
placenta defects or lack of growth/nutrients
effects of malnutrition in late pregnancy
effects of fetal dvlpt
glucose mishandling factors and risk
worried about pre-existing diabetes, gestational diabetes
what is gestational diabetes
diabetes dvlpt during pregnancy - includes macrosomia
what is macrosomia in gestation diabetes
The baby is taking all glucose and the baby weight is increases
hypertensive disorder in pregnancy
increases blood pressure and puts mom and fetus at risk
gestations hypertensive disorder
high blood pressure dvlp during pregnancy in 2 trimesters and will go back to normal after birth
what is preeclampsia
high BP, as well as protein in urine,
can lead to decreased fetal growth and miscarriage
what is eclampsia
sudden seizure/ coma
what factors are affected in maternal age
there is a risk if mom is 35 or older,
what are three factors in infancy growth
weight, length, growth (length-weight, head circumference)
what is the energy need of an infant compared to an adult
2x the adult need
where do most nutrients come from birth - 6 month
breast milk
where do most nutrients come from while 6-12 mon
breastmilk and complementary foods
affects of CHO in infants
relative to brain size and is about 12% body weight
affects of PRO in infants
limited due to immature kidneys and liver
affects of vitmains and minerals in infancy
twice the adult need – vit k supplement shots and vit D for breast fed infants
h20 needs in infants
most water is extracellular so there is higher dehydration risk- needs are met by breast milk
what is the majority of nutrients in breast milk q
majority fat then carbs, the smallest amount is protein
what are some advantages to breast milk
immunological protection, sterile at room temp for 6-8 hours, and colostrum, bifidus factor, decreases allergies, lower cost, weight loss in mom
what is the Bifidus factor
increase growth of lactobacillus –
importance of lactobacililus
jumpstarts microbiome
what is a con of iron-fortified formula milk
no protective ability- lacks immune benefits and antibodies from breastmilk
need safe water and ensure mixed fully,
how often do infants eat breast milk
every 2/3 hours and increased time between
how to prevent nursing bottle decay
never put baby to bed with a bottle
what is nursing bottle decay
tooth decay by cho in the mouth when dipping milk - acid secreted to damage teeth
when is a child allowed to eat solids
after 6 months or ready
readiness to eat solid
able to hold up the head, and swallow reflex defined
purpose of solids in eating
provide nutrients not adequately provided in breast milk
how to introduce new foods
one at a time, every 3/5 days before new food to check allergies.
etiquette for childhood eating
1+ year eating at the table, drinking from a cup, more adult foods.
in childhood what changes
body comp and shape changes increase muscle growth
what happens in children’s appetite at 1 year
appetite decreases after 1 yeat
effects of sugar on behavior
doesnt cause hyperactivity-caused more by events surrounding intake
ADHD and additives and behavior
not universal but some coloring and preservatives
Fe deficiency can affect…
attention span, and intellectual performance
effects of skipping breakfast
leads to decreased attention span, apathy, shorter attention school,
childhood obesity is
on the rise- 1/4 of kids
obesity is based on BMI in the what percentile
95-97
what are the consequences of obesity
impact on growth, physical health ( CDC risk, HTN, type 2 diabetes), physiological health, leads to adult obesity
nutrient concerns with older adults
physiological age ( activity and health) vs chronological age
body weight in older adults,
moderate weight not associated with health risks,
body comp changes in older adults
decrease in LBM, sarcopenia (decrease muscle mass, adn strength), osteoporosis, risk of obesity,
